What a tragic, evil joke. A drive-by shooter in the beautiful, almost magical, city of Toulouse, France, murders three Jewish children and a teacher in front of their school. Various VIPs issue statements about how terrible is this deed, how unspeakable.

And yet at that very moment, the next round of murders, the next slanderous and inciting antisemitic lies, are being perpetrated by respectable people and institutions. There is no real soul-searching, no true effort to do better, no serious examination about how the anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hysteria is paving the way for murder and fueling dreams of genocide.

The street thugs, fanatics drunk on the interpretations of Islam they are being fed, and the mentally twisted may be pulling the trigger but the distinguished, the powerful, and the honored are providing the ammunition.

Here are three examples of such deeds in nominally democratic countries — not Iran, not Syria, not Pakistan, where such things are even more intense — but in supposedly rational places.

1. The Turkish Editor

Meet Mahir Zeynalov, an editor at Today’s Zaman, a Turkish Islamic newspaper that is supposedly moderate. Meet the modern art of tweeting. Here is Zeynalov’s response to the murders:

There are two ways to read this tweet. The more outrageous is this: How can it be wrong for gunmen to murder Jewish children or vandals to attack a Jewish cemetery in Poland if Jews are burning mosques and Qurans in Tunisia? One act balances the other.

The other interpretation is this: What a world in which there is so much hatred! Gunmen murder Jewish children, vandals attack a Jewish cemetery, and Jews desecrate mosques and Muslim holy books.

Yet the second interpretation is almost as inciting to violence as the first. We know from many experiences — including Afghanistan right now — that anyone who burns or does anything to a Koran would set off massive riots and bloody killings. And as for burning a mosque, such a deed might well result in the massacre of every Jew living in Tunisia.

Tunisian Jews today are a couple of thousand terrified people who would run in the other direction if they saw a Koran in front of them lest they be accused of looking at it funny. What Zeyanlov has done is called a “blood libel,” a lie that might lead to the murder of Jews.

A Muslim taking Zeyanlov’s tweet to heart would feel justified in murdering Jews, say children standing in front of their school.

2. The Dutch Cartoonist

De Volkskrant is one of Holland’s leading newspapers, favored by the intellectual elite. Here is a cartoon that it has just run. The cartoon shows Geert Wilders, leader of the conservative party that is very critical of Islam, getting loads of cash from a hidden hand that is clearly referring to Jews or Israel. Yes, the cartoon was written with a Hebrew text balloon, helpfully translated into Dutch as Wilders saying, “Thank you very much.”

So we have here the stereotype of the Jewish money behind the scenes conspiring, in this case against Islam and against Holland. And of course it is also designed to discredit Wilders. As with the Turkish editor’s tweet above, this is based on a total falsehood. There is hardly any Jewish support for Wilders’ party, which is, by the way, a legitimate political force, and there has never been the slightest evidence — even rumor — of Jewish financing for him, or Israeli financing.

Holland is a country where two political leaders have been assassinated and Wilders needs round-the-clock protection against potential assassins.

What is the message here? That Jews and Israel are trying to destroy Islam — as in the Turkish tweet — and are nefarious plotters attacking innocent people. Isn’t it just, therefore, to murder Jews and Israelis in self-defense?

3. Europe’s Foreign Minister

Exhibit three is Catherine Ashton, whose career was originally built on running the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament which favored unilateral Western disarmament in the face off Soviet tyranny. She is now the EU’s foreign minister. In response to the Toulouse shooting, she has issued a statement here that spends more time reciting the sufferings of children in the Gaza Strip than about antisemitism and the demonization of Jews and Israel.

Left out is the fact that Gaza is ruled by an organization, Hamas, that is openly antisemitic, openly preaches genocide, frequently has carried out terrorist attacks against Israelis and Jews, and then glorifies those who did the murders. Remember that the only reason Hamas can rule Gaza is that Israel voluntarily withdrew from the territory in a gesture intended to promote peace, something Ashton and much of the Western media and governmental elites usually don’t mention.

When Hamas maintains a war with Israel, firing rockets, missiles, and mortars, Israel defends itself. Hamas also deliberately sites military arsenals and weapons in residential areas. Thus, civilians and even children are accidentally killed by Israel in the fighting. This is precisely what happens in other wars, including those being waged now by EU countries.

Yet Ashton does not defend Israel or its right to defend itself. She does not take sides against the terrorists. At best we get spurious neutrality that is actually anti-Israel propaganda. Note that she even refers to Palestine as a currently existing country even though the EU recognizes no such country. So much for diplomatic responsibility. Her “apology” and “clarification” came after criticism but she meant exactly what she said and will do the same thing next time as she and other EU officials have done many times on previous occasions.

Indeed, while Palestinian children are killed during fighting in Gaza, let’s note the two most notoriously publicized examples of the last week:

–A photo sent around, in one case by a UN official, purporting to show a little girl as being injured this week was in fact a photo of a girl injured in an auto accident several years ago.

–The claim that Barka al-Mugrahbi was killed by Israelis has now been shown to be false. He was killed by a bullet fired into the air by Palestinians during a funeral.

–And what of the recent photo widely published purporting to show an Israeli soldier menacing a child despite the fact that the man was wearing a concocted Israeli army uniform and carrying an AK-47, a weapon used by terrorists against Israel but never by Israeli soldiers, showing that the photo was a phony?

–The downplaying or omission of the fact that Israel was defending itself from a barrage of missiles. In one case, a prominent Dutch newspaper published a photograph with the caption that showed a rocket being fired by Israel into Gaza, instead of the exact opposite.

In short, Ashton and many others are contributing to the demonization of Jews and Israel. If Israel is so horrible that it makes little children in Gaza suffer for no reason, shouldn’t Israelis and the Jews who support them be shunned, harassed, attacked, and murdered?

These three examples are only a small sample of the hate poured out against Israel and Jews in the Middle East and elsewhere. I could go on with dozens more and so, perhaps, could you. From Sweden’s largest newspaper claiming Israel murdered Palestinians to harvest their organs to a Harvard professor’s tales of Jewish-Zionist conspiracies to control U.S. foreign policy to the dozens of “academic” conferences on Western campuses that demonize Israel, paid for by student fees.

What is needed is not more hypocrisy or professions of innocence or expensive conferences where long speeches are made about the evils of antisemitism by those who do nothing but get free plane tickets and nice hotel rooms. The real solution is a real change in the behavior of the mass media that pours out lies, the academics who slander and distort, and the governments that refuse to stand by a democratic country and people beset by terrorism and the world’s oldest hatred.

Oh, and one more thing is needed: the admission that the greatest threat of hatred, “racism,” dehumanization of the “other,” and threat of persecution today — as the statistics for Europe and North America show — is not “Islamophobia” but antisemitism.

And none of those things are going to happen because the liars, haters, apologists, and enablers will not acknowledge their own behavior while those who are supposed to supervise them will not act. Hating and lying about Israel and the Jewish people is too useful politically and too entwined with the version of left-wing ideology, not to mention Islamism and the dominant interpretation of Islam, currently so powerful in the world.

It would be an exaggeration to say that Europe is no longer a safe place for Jews to live. Yet it is accurate to say that it is becoming an unsafe place for Jews to live, and certainly for those who wish to express mainstream Jewish views and to practice their religion openly. Meanwhile, the EU and various governments dare not admit that the principal cause of antisemitic activity is radical Islam, and the principal inspiration for popular antisemitism is trendy leftist ideas that now dominate much of that continent and are spreading in North America.

Thus, Jewish children are deliberately murdered by a terrorist in the midst of France. In response, come get the formal statements and the crocodile tears. Yet at the exact same time as the bullets are entering the children’s bodies, as the victims fall to the ground, as the ambulance sirens sound, the incitement and the lies and the slanders continue, laying the groundwork for more hatred and more murder.

It would appear that the shooter was motivated to avenge “the death of Palestinian children”, a fabrication documented here:

Of course, Israel never does anything wrong. The 450 Palestinian children murdered in Operation Cast Lead, many of them burned alive by Jewish soldiers pouring white phosphorous on their backs were all accidental deaths. While regrettable, these Toulouse deaths were by a lone gunmen. The State Of Israel licks its chops every times it burns a three year old Palestinian girl alive.

I wish I had a dine for every time a clueless alta cocka questioned the Jewish refusal to keep repeatin itself “victims of Islamic terrrorg the same stale lies about how Israel only kills Palestinian children “accidentallly”. Israel takes delight in causing anguish to Palestinian parents. Israel is ferklempt that it can ape Nazi goon sadism and then hide behind the U.S. and call itself “victims”. The whole world is wise to Israel’s monstrous lies. Younger Jews like myself will not let you moral cretins telll us to lie to the goyim lest they catch on. Your Nazi ways have been exposed. Your judenrat cowardice unmasked We are the righteous Children of Y’Israel.

I just wish you had enough education to write coherently, because then there would be an outside chance that you could be brought forth from the toxic fog in which you live your life. There is, alas, no chance of that.

You are a vile liar whose probably uses a false Jewish sounding name. Your vile hatred is only matched by your ignorance. The “Palestinians” are a fictitious people who are actually groups of Muslim supremacists who were never displaced since they are really Egyptians or Syrians who are trespassing on land which by international law is part of the Jewish national homeland. Israel has never killed children deliberately. That is a muslim cowards’ specialty who regularly hide behind children and woman.

This may be a Jewish person- Jewish anti-Semites are unfortunately not unknown- but it’s likely this is a ‘usual suspect’ Jew-hater masquerading under a Jewish-sounding name. Her/His allegations are as farcical as they are mendacious and her/his clumsy attempts to smear show him/her to an unintelligent fool. We have more to worry about from intelligent anti-Semites than this cretin.

I am a left wing israeli and often have many political disputes with the govt. But understand the arabs being so much weaker militarily than us has resorted to propaganda that is easily absorbed by jew-haters every where.

re – Gaza. In all such was where civilians are somehow involved – iraq, leb civili war afgahnistan etc etc the ratio of killed ‘ to injured has always been between 1-3 to about 1-5. Thus if we killed 1000 hamasniks there should be at least 3000 injured. even taking into account that we took in to our hospitals the worst injured, where were the others??? With the capacity of gaza hospitals they should have been lying outside – photo – opportuned by the propogandists. Some how they dissapeared!
If anyone has seen pictures of napalmed people – hey where were they in gaza. what people saw were devices to protect our helicopters from heat seeking missiles. Hey where are the burnt bodies.
actually i am wasting my time writing here as anti-semites or anti-israeli will just say ii am indoctrinated – so in my opinion – as anti war as i am – we better keep our rifles clean and the gunpowder dry – it seems forever.

You’re changing the subject because you share the same political agenda as the terrorist lowlife who murdered innocents. The Jewish victims in Toulouse bore no responsibility for what happened in Israel. Only an irrational person, mentally corrupted by hatred, would defend such an outrageously evil, unwarranted act of violence. And much of this shameless defending of the indefensible occurs on the internet by anonymous cowards who seek to provoke a predictable reaction.

Dont forget to include Jewish apologists for terror. They include Howard Gutmann, our “honorable” ambassador to Belgium, who said that some anti-semitism is justified. Also, include larry derfner, formerly of the Jerusalem post, who probably believes that the family in Toulouse had it coming

French Police Say They Have Cornered Suspect in School Shootinghttp://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/22/world/europe/toulouse-shootings-suspects-house-raided-by-french-police.html?hp
Obviously this has happened before…people punishing innocent people who had nothing to do with other events…and getting even is also not a great cause to persue strangers and target Police, Rabbis, Children, Restaurants, Buses, Planes…etc…for the sake of the followers of all religions….religions has obviously been the major culprits of wars and disputes for thousands of years…!
These comments are valid…”weindeb” got it accurately by saying: L Yes, I couldn’t agree with you more, but where in your belief you have so well expressed would you place Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, et al, responsible for the deaths of thousands, literally thousands, of “…completely innocent men, women, and children.”?and “Ted Morgan” also got it accurately by saying: Every Jewish child and rabbi murdered represents part of me and a vital part of my humanity….
Yes, being human instead of animal…means that we needs to be respected “by all and for all peoples”…!!!

Blaming religion as though all religions were equal to one another is blaming the victim for being murdered. For indeed, all those Christians who were martyred at the hands of tyrants who proclaimed themselves to be gods or proxies for gods were killed “in the name of religion,” but it was because they refused to bow to false gods and the self-proclaimed gods hated them for it. What are we to say? That they deserved their fate for not conforming to the religion (or irreligion) of those around them? Or should we rather place the blame where it belongs- on the murderers who killed them because they couldn’t stand anyone not worshiping them?

Barry, this is an excellent essay. But you don’t go nearly far enough — you need to make a case for action, not merely hand-wringing. I know that you hew vigorously to the line that you are “simply an analyst, providing analysis.” But analysts don’t merely limn the circumstances; they also examine an array of possible responses to the circumstances (and/or possible actions anticipatory of potential developments deriving from the circumstances). They acknowledge the limits on their ability to highlight and weigh all possible responses, but the good analysts nevertheless do make this presentation to responsible policymakers.

In this specific case, at a minimum, one possible action to suggest (or at least examine and weigh) is a temporary declaration of Baroness Ashton as persona non grata in Israel. I’m certainly not the first to suggest this, and it might be beneficial all around if you speak to it and to related alternatives that might help Israel and the Jewish people send an effective message.

An excellent suggestion. But although Netanyahu this time wisely condemned Ashton’s remarks without unfortunately even mentioning her name, we know very well that the next time Ashton lands in Israel to issue the Jews another one of her peremptory condemnations she will again be received with a red carpet and honors. Until we see a change in the shetl mentality of so many Israels (who historically loved to damn the condemned OstJuden for their shetl mentality), the Israelis will continue to humiliate before these European anti-Semites.

Trying to comprehend the reasoning of antisemitic individuals is a seemingly futile task. I, for one, cannot understand the blind hatred and mendacity which spur on individuals to act against Jews and Israel.
Truth and reality are forsaken. The mantra is that if Israel had better hasbara, all problems would be rationally resolved. I doubt that all the explaining would alter the warped minds of such people.
For those of us who recognize the significant accomplishments and great contributions to society of the Jewish people and nation, the despicable words and actions of anti-Semites will someday pass and be forgotten. And Israel and the Jewish people will stand tall. History will vindicate their suffering and struggles.

You might be correct if one were dealing with rational, logical arguments of facts. Unfortunately, you and the rest of us are dealing with religion, that most illogical of all of humanity’s inventions. My studies of both Judaism and Islam, so far at least, show that Jews and Muslims are worshiping the same G-d. On the other hand, the interpretation of how that worship should be conducted are radically different. A third significant religion, Christianity, also believes in that same G-d, and grew out of Judaism. Judaism has been vilified by the other two since their founding, and continues to be. Islam seeks world dominion and will be at war with Jews and Christians until it succeeds or is, itself, eliminated.

It is an unfortunate truth that mankind’s most bitter, prolonged, and atrocious wars have been and are based on religious differences.

No – they do NOT worship the same God. Please stop saying that. The arabs worship an old pagan moon god al-ilah (allah). Mohammed was just an opportunist who swiped pieces of Judaism and Christianity so he could convince his followers to rape, murder and pillage for him.

Uh your IGNORANCE is showing. Please don’t comment on what you know nothing about. It makes you look really STOOPIT.

Christianity and Judaism worship the same God. Islam does not.
Christianity and Judaism have different understandings of the God they worship
Christianity and Judaism have been at odds on occasion, but Evangelicals support Judaism and acknowledge its right to exist.
Islam has been violent from its inception, Judaism and Christianity have not
(That is not to say certain parts of Christianity have not been violent but not from the beginning.)

Pick up a history book or 5 or 10 or 100 and learn something. Better yet, read the Scriptures.

at the begining jesus was a jew and died as a jew. (he also had short black curly hair like me – according to archelolgists). half the christian sect fought rome with us – the other half gave up and landed in rome. (politically fighting rome was a BIG mistake – made titus angry and started crucifying, enslaving etc.it is said that this is when antisemitism started as his only explanation to Caesar was that we were intrisicly evil.and this spread all over europe.

What you call “giving up,” I call following orders. Jesus commanded us to flee from Jerusalem when we saw her surrounded by armies, and He did not command fighting in His Name, but rather proselytizing the heathens, including Rome. Now see the world today: the zealots are dead, as are the pagan Romans, but Christianity is now professed by a third of the world (though many of these are not actually faithful, they do confess that the God of Israel is the true God and that Jesus Christ is His Son).

except it’s not just Israel that’s the problem – it’s Jews…..Period. Were Israel and its occupants to end today the muslims would just turn their attention to the next place that still has Jews. Muslims actually like Israel because it rounds the Jews up in one spot so they can more easily be killed.

the response to anti-semitism is to take the same mindless path as the neurons in a jew hater’s shrunken brain. jews should carry tasers and sharpened screwdrivers. any vocalising or attempted assault using anti-semitic (anti-zionist) slurs, get the jew hater to the ground with the taser and shove the screwdriver into the side of its neck where resides the carotid artery.

the sewer cockroaches who hate jews will quickly turn their attention to those groups who are without sharpened screwdrivers.

of the antisemitic attacks in Toulouse, and throughout the world, are the universities in Europe and the United States. The vitriolic hatred of Jews and Israel that flows out of the mouths of faculty, students, and administrators in Harvard, Berkeley, Columbia, and other highly esteemed institutions of higher education, is echoed a hundred-fold here in the states, at similar colleges and universities all across the country. They are a national disgrace, every last one of them.

The current domination by antisemites in the universities can be blamed on white elites in the liberal foundations and among Stalinists, responding to the civil rights movement, and of whom there were and are more than is imagined by ordinary citizens. I tried to put together an index of my multiculturalism blogs (denouncing it, of course) here: http://clarespark.com/2011/07/08/is-glenn-beck-and-antisemite/.

You correctly understand that things are not fair for Jews, and they are going to continue not being fair. Jews and Israel are on their own. Even America is starting to fall away from Israel thanks to the election of Obama.

The modern liberal believes the successful have cheated and the unsuccessful are victims. That means Jews (and Christians) are villains and Muslims are victims.

While it is true that Jews and Israel are in danger, at least they truly understand the danger they face. They will take a beating from time to time, but they will survive. The modern liberal in Europe and America doesn’t even understand the mortal danger it faces. Both Europe and America are in trouble.

Historically, the world is now at a tipping point where small changes have a massive impact. A long period of peace and prosperity have sown the seeds of destruction. Europe and America sleep while dark forces come upon them – Russia, China and Islam. The people won’t wake up.

The Jews around the world are waking up while the rest of Europe and America sleep. Who is going to survive? I would not bet against the Jew.

Did it occur to you that the tweet message means: Which of the three statements is wrong? This is how I read it at first glance and obviously the one about Jews burning Mosques is wrong.

Adham Abu Selmiya is the lying health spokesman in the Gaza strip. The name of youth NOT killed by Israel but probably by handling explosives is Nayif Shaaban Qarmout. Adham Abu Selmiya lied in another case, claiming Israeli responsibility for the death of 8-year old Barka al-Mugrahbi who was hit and killed by stray bullets fired at a funeral.

Pretty much says it all. Ben Gurion understood that Jews could rely upon no one but themselves for survival. Most Israelis know this. Liberal western Jews, far removed from the danger zone are free to engage in fantasies.

It wasn’t Jews that attacked the mosque in Tunisia. It was Muslims. Moderate Muslims protesting the coming Salafi/Sharia state. Or maybe, as some surmise, very devout Salafists who are instigating conflict to help speed up their agenda.

“Meanwhile, the EU and various governments dare not admit that the principal cause of antisemitic activity is radical Islam, and the principal inspiration for popular antisemitism is trendy leftist ideas that now dominate much of that continent and are spreading in North America.”

What makes the Europeans disgusting is their hypocrisy. I’m sure none of the above crimes are being labeled as a “hate crime” by any of the European nations involved. Geert Wilders needs constant police protection from Muslims, but he is not considered the victim of hate or hate crimes, which could lead to his death. No, nothing wrong with that, right? But if there was a Muslim leader who needed the same protection, if there was a Muslim group that had four of its members killed in front of a mosque or a madrassa, that WOULD be considered a hate crime in Europe, right? And the police would be doing everything possible to not only round up the people behind the murders, but silencing ANYBODY who approved of those same murders, right?

Not in Europe. Europe’s pro-Muslim bias is getting disgusting. The gutless Europeans, especially in France, do everything in their power to accommodate the Muslims. Why? Because Msulim “youths” riot, break windows, burn cars and tires, and kill people, that’s why. Kill a few Jews and what do they do? Nothing. No riots, not buring cars, no violence. Just funerals.

I hope to God that we don’t see more funerals. And if we did, the Europeans today would do nothing about them.

“The gutless Europeans, especially in France, do everything in their power to accommodate the Muslims. Why? Because Msulim “youths” riot, break windows, burn cars and tires, and kill people, that’s why. Kill a few Jews and what do they do? Nothing. No riots, not buring cars, no violence. Just funerals.”

Really?

which country apart France has the most draconian laws against Sharia? Youth riots aren’t a french specifity, see the last London riots, they were more violent, see yours…

OK, we are your convenient usual suspects, but which country will be doomed the first? yours or ours? my ten cent on yours !

“OK, we are your convenient usual suspects, but which country will be doomed the first? yours or ours?”

Yours, and that’s just a fact. The Muslim birth rate is exploding in your country, as is immigration of Muslims to your country. Muslims now account for at least 10% of your population. That’s not even close here in the United States. So France has a lot more to lose from a Muslim backlash than we do, a lot more and you know it. Problem is, how you people deal with it. If you appease them as you always do, they will simply want more and more from you. But if you finally put an end to their terrorism, they may actually be convinced to assimilate into your country and into your culture. It already may be too late for that, but if you at least try it may still work.

Well, I haven’t heard that Jews in particular (as opposed to others) “burned mosques and Quran” in Tunisia, but it seems to me Dr. Rubin is reading far too much into this tweet — seems like a general bemoaning of the violence between Jews and Muslims as being wrong, not justifying anybody’s murder of Jews (or burning of the Quran for that matter). Besides, it’s a bloody “tweet” — not exactly a medium conductive to critical thought and complete objectivity.

no, cuz the attack on the Jewish school wasn’t forecasted, it happened because the jihadist didn’t find his programmed victim, another paratrooper that he waited for at his home. His deceiption turned into a rage against these poor people on his way: the children at the jewish school

I agree with the general analysis of who is responsible for what. But I am not sure about the diagnosis.
You are too optimistic.
There is the possibility (at least in terms of raw money) that the islamic supremacists have actually bought the services of the left and of the media. These are certainly stupid enough to think that they can act as servants of the islamists and “then” get rid of them after using their money.

What I am saying is that the leftist media and organizations could be acting as a true fifth column for the islamic supremacists, and the Jews are the first victim of the attack against the West (sorry for repeating a trivial figure of speech: “the canary in the mine”.)

Israel must stop crucifying the Palestinians and egging the U.S. on to attack Muslim countries. Only then will Jews be safe. Using the Gentiles as cannon fodder and burning palestinian children alive “for sport” puts all Jews in danger.

Abe (if that’s your real name), you are spreading exactly the kind of lies (‘burning Palestinian children alive for sport’ contains at least 3 all by itself) that inspired this murderer and thousands like him to murder innocent Jews. As long as people like you are willing to spread lies about Jews, we will not be safe no matter what we do or do not do, and no matter what Israel does or does not do.

The world system. The world system loves those who follow Muhammad, or any other pagan religion. Just don’t write anything about the G-d who created heaven, and earth, the G-d that blessed Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, the G-d that gave Moses and King David their power. The G-d that the unwashed Americans love in Christ’s name.

The world system is full of evil. Just like it’s father, that which attacked Job.

I’m a Brit (I assume you are, too?) and Ashton made an absolute dog’s dinner of this tragic incident. Embarrassingly so. If you can’t see why then perhaps it’s your lack of understanding of political and diplomatic protocol that’s to blame. It’s certainly not Barry Rubin attempting to hoodwink.

Ashton and Pilay, among many others, have been accusing Israel of all manner of “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity” for years, carefully coddling the cause of radical Islamists. This is part of the atmosphere that drives Islamo-Fascists to murder JEWISH (not Israeli) children, believing that their wild Islamic narrative has support in the West. Ashton is GUILTY of prodding on such attacks. For her to claim that the murders are “tragic”, after her considerable record of anti-Jewish bigotry, is the height of hypocrisy. Arrest her now!!!

thank you again barry for showing the rest of the world what is painfully obvious to us here in israel, however, you have made an error regarding the dutch cartoon. the text in the balloon says “benimus toda” which translates to “politenness thank you”, which could explained in two ways:

1) the dutch elites are so smart that they have found a hebrew syntax currently unknown to all hewbrew scholars.

There are those, like George Soros, who profit from war. They also want the US to be destroyed as we are the only force for civilization within the modern world.

But the Islamic world is one huge arms manufacturer. Every villiage in the Balkins makes weapons. Same for Afghanistan. An AK-47 can be made for under $20 (about $17.50). An RPG-7 for $51 with the warheads going for $7 each. Land mines can be made for as little as $3. They cook their own plastic explosives. No big corporations needed nor any banks. Everything is done within the village.

Think about how the US would be if we made our own weapons and explosives. We forget how easy good weapons are to make. No corporations needed.

So guys. What are you going to do about this? Are you trying to tell me with Jews like Bernanke, Rothschild, Geithner, Axelrod, Larry Summers, Rahm Emmanuel, Lord Mandelsohn, the Milibands, Strauss-Khan etc. in major positions of power there is nothing you can do? I have a Hungarian Jewish friend who denounced her religion because as she said “the Jews just laid down in WWII and accepted their fate.” Is the same thing going on today?

That list of movers and shakers you name, “Jews like Bernanke, Rothschild, Geithner, Axelrod, Larry Summers, Rahm Emmanuel, Lord Mandelsohn, the Milibands, Strauss-Khan” and, of course, Soros – are culturally Jewish, but not ‘circumcised of heart’ and therefore not true Jews. They do not love and live by the Torah, nor are they inspired by the Spirit of God in their doings. Their actions and thoughts are not circumcised by the Law and conformed to the Commandments.

I am an atheist. I have fought in war after war and my kids have continued. We are ethnically jews. The mulliband family were very zionist and came here every year, Strauss also prays in synagoue.The other i just dont know. I am a VERY proud jew and will always be. and a VERY proud zionist

Well, another adherent to that great peaceful religion passes on and is off to collect his 70 virgins. Another Mohamet ascends to heaven to frolic and enjoy unlimited porn flics. Another Mohamet gets to occupy the world stage to play out his little psychodrama. Another Mohamet gets to honor the Prophet with an act of bestial butchery. And what of those other Mohamets, the ‘moderates’? Have you heard their outcry condeming this WPOS dirtbag excuse for a human being? Any wailing and ululation from Mrs. Mohamet descrying this latest travesty wafting up form the Islamic world? Keep an eye out for the eulogies sure to emininate from Hamas, and Hezbollah, canonizing this scumbag. Let’s see how long it will be before the NY Times attempts to rationalize this latest iteration of the aggrieved Mohamet. Surely they will.

This article is all garbage. The threat that will turn Tel Aviv into a radioactive pit will be a Pakistani bomb riding on a Shahab 3 missile.

This man was trained by the ISI on the Afghani border, was affiliated with al-Qaeda, and was just the outrider of the threat that is posed to Israel by PAKISTAN! Anything that goes wrong in the world, in PaKistan, is blamed on JEWS. And it is far safer for the Pakistanis to nuke Israel than to nuke India.

Start smelling the nuclear coffee. That the Eurotrash hate us is nothing new. That the Wahhabi fulminate against us is also not news. But it was Pakistan who trained this terrorist trash, and it is Pakistan who will target Israel.

Well, the three potential assassins I initially saw in one photograph on French TV were all the same – crew-cut, white, saluting some Third Reich paraphernalia. Allegedly former soldiers, sacked from the army because of their inclinations (towards national socialism, I take it). The commentary said one of them would be the killer, so those were the three options presented in public.

It is a pity that this analysis doesn’t go far enough.
Before the murderer killed the Rabbi, his children and the little daughter of the director of the Jewish school, he had already shot and killed, on two occasions, soldiers froma French regiment which had been in Afghanistan. These soldiers were of North African origin.
These crimes were not due to increased anti-semitism in Europe, they were due solely to islam, the religion of the murderer who said he was a jihadi. The ferocious gun battle he fought with the French police attests to the fact that he had indeed be trained, as he claimed. Turns out he spent some time in Waziristan – a tribal province in the hands of the Taliban.
I am getting impatient with the way people shy away from naming the problem by name: it is islam, and we all know that islamists are the worst anti-semites in our present societies.
We will not be able to come to grips with this problem unless we name it, without fear of being shouted at by the left. And if you think this is a problem solely for old europe – think again. Do some research about Sharia courts in the USA< look up where there are islamist madrassahs in your country, how islamic demands are met in your colleges and schools.

Israel should start to use the “a ” word (anti semitism) when responding to the likes of Ashton. Responding with words like “not appropriate” plays into the hands of the hypocrites. In this sense we collude by being timid. Time to call a spade a spade. Legal action should also be part of Jewish response to anti semitic cartoons.Racial incitement goes beyond criticism. Editors would think twice before getting into possible litigation that can be expensive.

Europe has always taken for granted the freedom sacrificed for them by many dead and injured soldiers during World War II. Yes, they are good in giving due pomp and ceremony honoring the dead, but when it comes to the most important things like being vigilant in fighting to keep them, they have failed miserably. They are enablers to their bureaucrats and politicians in taking their freedom piece by piece in exchange for entitlements. They haven’t learned from all the past sufferings and sacrifices that entitlements are the means for politicians/bureaucrats/technocrats/elitists to take away freedom and give those power to control within a few. They haven’t learned yet that you can only keep freedom by taking responsibility for oneself, not by reassigning them to politicians. In short, not until Europeans learn what responsibility means, they do not deserve those sacrifices and the gift of freedom as they will just barter and squander them away over and over.

Jews will survive – it’s the US that is in danger here, along with anyone else who turns against the Jews. I’m not Jewish and Israel isn’t perfect – but God’s hand is upon them. Woe be to the nation that tries to crush His people.

“And none of those things are going to happen because the liars, haters, apologists, and enablers will not acknowledge their own behavior while those who are supposed to supervise them will not act. Hating and lying about Israel and the Jewish people is too useful politically and too entwined with the version of left-wing ideology, not to mention Islamism and the dominant interpretation of Islam, currently so powerful in the world.”
This “behavior” is/has always been covered up and the perpetrators have not been prosecuted. Look at the trouble stirred up against the Jews by those fomenters who lived in the United States during and before WWII, the Communists, the Eugenicists, the Nazi’s and look at how they have never paid the price like most of their German, Japanese and Italian counter parts did. Look how they still do it to the Jews.
The price to be paid by these “Americans” is very likely to be eternal damnation for those already dead and perhaps a more severe end for those still alive. They will all pay and true justice will be executed, of that there is no doubt. Is Gods vengeance just as real for those who don’t believe He exists? Think so.

It is pure knee jerk reflex to call this sort of thing anti-semitic. The fact of the matter is, this isn’t anti-semitism, it’s xenophobia – a bit like the old joke, “I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody”. This attack was just the third in a series, the other two of which were against North Africans and Caribbean blacks. To discard those and force the attack that coincidentally killed Jews into the intellectual straitjacket of anti-semitism is to make a faulty diagnosis. What happened is just as bad whatever the motives, but to plunge into misunderstanding is to prepare to apply faulty correctives. This isn’t belittling the actual tragedy (though just picking out the third is belittling the first two), it’s telling people they should keep their eyes on the ball.

I wasn’t saying his xenophobia wasn’t ideology (seen from one perspective), I was saying it is wrong to treat it as anti-semitism. And the Islam thing isn’t a common denominator among his victims either – he hit Jews, North Africans, and Caribbean blacks (though I think it was just one of those). It makes sense to start by assessing it as xenophobia, and it stays that way whether it turns out that it was systematic (and so, ideological) or not.

So you don’t consider it anti-semitic to murder a bunch of Jews in cold blood because you are angry about what other Jews supposedly did? You seem to be using a very narrow definition of anti-semitism. Maybe if he had made jokes about Jews being cheap, or blackballed them from his country club . . . ?

I think that murdering a bunch of Jews in cold blood because they are Jews is anti-semitic, but that doing so for other reasons – say, because they aren’t “really” French – is not, though it is just as horrible. And I think that, because the killer also killed other people, the pattern doesn’t fit his doing it because they were Jews. So I think that anybody who decides what to do about it on the back of a preconception that this was anti-semitism is going to come up with wrong answers.

You’re still selecting out the other two batches of murders. He cannot have done those for those reasons (unless he really is crazy, in which case structured anti-semitism still doesn’t apply). And what he said has less information content than what he did; the only pattern here is xenophobia – again because the other two batches of murders don’t fit the pattern of anti-semitism. So I tell you again, if what you are after is understanding for the purpose of knowing what to do about it, don’t try to force things to fit this way. This person would have just as happily have murdered my mother’s family, who were Irish immigrants to France (that’s how I know how prevalent routine xenophobia is there).

Adi, you too are missing the point. This fellow may well have been an anti-semite as well as a xenophobe, but the point I am failing to get across is that the murders cannot be proceeding from anti-semitism because there were clearly murders that were not anti-semitic. Now, anti-semitism could well have got one batch of victims added to the list, but it cannot be why the murderer got into killing.

As for selectively quoting “murdering a bunch of Jews” and adding “no comment”, that is misrepresentation (unless you were just quoting the earlier commenter who also didn’t provide a fuller view); it leaves out the very important ‘I think that murdering a bunch of Jews because they are Jews is anti-semitic, but that doing so for other reasons – say, because they aren’t “really” French – is not’. It is misrepresentation because it is setting people up to draw the wrong inferences. Suppose someone had only heard about the Jews being murdered? Such a person would be jumping to the wrong conclusion from faulty data, not faulty logic.

Oh, and it’s still wrong, regardless. But it is wrong in a different way to force facts to fit preconceptions, because it will lead to failure to fix things so it doesn’t happen so much. (I’m not optimistic enough to think it can be fixed completely.)

Jews are bringing this on themselves. They lead, and continue to lead, the mass immigration of Third Worlders into Europe and the US. Reason, undermine traditional western cohesion. More and more people in the west, myself included, have come to realise this.

I wonder how many Jews in the past enabled Hitler and his administration, just like what many Jews in the media and Hollywood are doing right now. These people should be exposed for what they were/are, or we will witness another tragic repetition of a sadistic history.

What a shame for these number of Jews in name only, as they are made into willing tools for the enemies of freedom.

It is time to name and shame those Jews who and how they cooperated/enabled Hitler, to prevent a repition of the not so distant tragic past.

Amy Shapiro? How about Abdullah the Mullah. You fake. You should’ve dressed your lies up a little more and inflated the numbers, maybe had Israeli soldiers that were actually cloned from ex-nazi’s dancing in the streets. If the cloning took place on mars that would’ve been good because then you could claim it’s the reason we never heard of it; they did it in secret inside the face. You know, it’s almost as absurd as the muslim belief in receiving 72 virgins in paradise for martyring themselves. Or is it 71? I mean why not a round number like 100? That book y’all read, it’s a bunch of “shiite”.

A simple rule of thumb, Jews are the canaries in the coal mine of the world. When things are good the level of antisemitism goes down, when things are bad it goes up. Europe is showing its decline and has been steadily doing so for decades.
